🐾 Dog training isn’t about handing your dog over a 🐾 Dog training isn’t about handing your dog over and expecting someone to “fix” them in one quick session.

Think of it more like learning a new skill. Your trainer is there to educate, guide, coach and encourage you, while helping you better understand your dog.

Along the way, you’ll learn important skills like timing, communication, awareness and consistency. A knowledgeable trainer brings years of experience and hands-on learning, so you don’t have to figure everything out alone.

But the real progress happens when you take what you’ve learned and practise it regularly with your dog.

Training is an investment in lifelong skills that can improve communication, build confidence and strengthen the relationship you share with your dog. 🐶❤️

At Barriere Bed & Biscuit, we’re here to support you and cheer you on throughout the learning process!

"As a dog professional myself I am very picky and nervous over someone caring for my dog. It is even more difficult as my dog Stevie is completely blind and a very large, high energy boy who forgets that he is disabled often and can be a bit of a handful. Steve did an overnight trial and then a more extended stay this month and I am thrilled to say he's found a second home with Desiree and her crew. She gave consistent and honest updates, didn't hesitate to ask questions and truly made sure Steve (and myself) both felt completely comfortable. He had such a great time, came home well rested, enjoyed amazing personal care and I was able to relax during my time away knowing he was getting the same love he gets back at home. He can't wait to come back!”

Desiree McLean relocated to Barriere from the Fras Desiree McLean relocated to Barriere from the Fraser Valley in 2021, bringing with her over 20 years of experience training and caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments.

For more than a decade, Desiree worked with rescue dogs and challenging behavioural cases, including dogs with significant anxiety and other complex behavioural needs. Her studies in psychology and canine behaviour, combined with years of hands-on experience helping families better understand and train their dogs, developed into a true passion.

Today, Desiree is excited to bring that experience to Barriere through her small, boutique dog boarding facility. Her goal is to provide a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home where dogs receive individualized attention and care. By keeping the number of dogs limited, she is able to offer the personal attention that can be difficult to provide in a larger kennel environment.

Outside of her work with dogs, Desiree is a mom to two daughters and shares her home with six dogs, four cats, two rabbits, two goats, and a Highland steer. She is loving the slower pace and beautiful scenery of the Barriere area while working toward her dream of living on a small acreage and hobby farm.

For Desiree, caring for animals isn’t simply a business—it’s a lifelong passion.

🐾 We often expect dogs to change overnight, but we 🐾 We often expect dogs to change overnight, but we wouldn’t expect that from ourselves.

We wouldn’t expect a person to overcome anxiety in one day.
We wouldn’t expect someone to break lifelong habits immediately.
We wouldn’t expect one positive experience to undo years of fear or uncertainty.

So why do we sometimes expect it from our dogs?

Dogs need time to adjust, build trust and feel safe. Real progress comes through calm repetition, consistent routines, positive experiences and many small moments of safety.

Some dogs settle into new places and routines quickly. Others need more patience, space and reassurance. Progress may happen slowly, but every small step matters.

Give your dog the same patience and understanding you would give yourself. 

Change takes time, and consistency makes all the difference. 💛🐶

🐾 Travelling without your pet? A little preparatio 🐾 Travelling without your pet? A little preparation can make a big difference in an emergency.

Our local overnight emergency pet hospital has created a helpful form for pet owners who will be away and leaving their pets with a pet sitter or boarding provider.

Before you travel, simply fill out the form and drop it off at the pet hospital. This gives the hospital important information about your pet and helps them be prepared if your pet requires emergency care while you’re away.

It’s a simple step that can give you extra peace of mind and help make sure your pet receives prompt care if an emergency happens.

Download the form here: https://phasesvetemerg.com/absent-owner-form/

Fill it out, drop it off and enjoy your trip knowing you’ve planned ahead for your pet! 🐶🐱
